With Father's Day only a couple of months away, it's time to start thinking about the perfect gift for Dad. Tools are usually a good bet, but it's important to know what you're buying.

For those who use tools regularly, the weight and feel of the hammer can make a big difference in comfort, precision and fatigue. This year, the new Crescent Fiberglass Rip Claw Hammer is our pick for Father's Day. It feels and performs like a much more expensive tool – a detail that will be much appreciated by both professional and do-it-yourself users. This Crescent hammer is available in two weights (16 oz and 20 oz). Its fiberglass handle is covered with a molded nylon jacket to resist overstrike breakage, and it has been factory balanced for more control and striking power. The rip claws are ideal for pulling nails and both hammers are incredibly reasonably priced.

About Crescent:Most anyone even somewhat familiar with tools knows the Crescent® brand, (think adjustable Crescent wrench). As one of the largest hand tool manufacturers in the world, it's a brand we feel confident in. The Crescent line has actually expanded beyond adjustable wrenches to include a wide selection of mechanics hand tools and tool sets. Where to Find the Crescent Fiberglass Rip Claw Hammer:

Both the 16-ounce model (SKU #11419C) and the 20-ounce version (SKU #11418C) are available at The Home Depot stores nationwide.
